Structures (Organelles)The Cell TheoryAll living things are made of cellsThe cell is the smallest living organismAll cells come from other cellsWhy are cells so small?They must be able to quickly:Respond to signals from the outsideTransport materials to the surfaceMove molecules around the cellThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.Maintain homeostasis(if you get a bigger house, that’s even more to cleanOne word answer?EfficiencyWhy?Larger cells have less surface area for each unit of volumeCell MembranePlasma membraneStructure: Lipids, proteins, cholesterol. Phospholipid BilayerThe heads are polar, and hydrophilicThe tails are nonpolar, and hydrophobicThere are many embedded proteinsThey have channels and receptorsFunctions: Boundary, regulates trafficWhat attributes of life that is linked with membraneHomeostasis, Order, Response (receptors)Types of CellsProkaryoticNo nucleusNo compartmentsSmall, SimpleBacteria, ArchaeaCapsuleFimbrae/ PiliChromosomesRibosomesFlagellaEukaryoticCytoplasmPlasma Membrane Nucleus OrganellesLarge, ComplexPlants, Animals, Fungi, ProtistsStructures for Organizing functionsAll Cells HavePlasma, Membrane, Cytosol (Cytoplasm), Chromosomes, RibosomesOrganellesNucleusFunctions: Control Center of the Cell. Directs protein synthesisFeatures: Double membrane (nuclear envelope), Openings (nuclear pores), chromosomes inside, nucleolus (ribosomes are made here!)RibosomesFunctions: Protein SynthesisFeatures: Made of Protein and rRNA. It’s found in cytosol (cytoplasm) and bound ribosomes are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER.)Endomembrane SystemFunctions: Molecule productions and Processing Features: Organelle Network, Connected VesiclesStructures: Nuclear Envelope, ER, Golgi Apparatus, Lysosomes, Vacuoles, PlasmsaMembraneEndoplasmic Reticulum (ER)Function: Creates moleculesStructure: It’s a large network of Membrane. Rough ER is ribosome studded. It produces proteins. The Smooth ER produces lipids and stores ions. Golgi ApparatusFunction: The UPS of the cell. Processing, Sorting, Tagging materials. The golgi gets molecules from the ER. Structures: Stacks of membrane. Number of Golgi Sacs vary. Vesicles that come into thegolgi are transport vesicles. The vesicles that go out are secretory vesicles.LysosomesFunction: The Lysol of the cell. They clean the cell and they are digestive enzymes.Structures: Membrane Sacs (from vesicles)Vacuoles and PeroxisomesVacuole (vacs): Protists: Contractile vacs eliminate waterPlants: Central vacs store waterPeroxisomes: metabolic reactions, break down fatty acids for fuel.MitochondrionFunction: The powerhouse of the cell. Convert molecules into ATP (energy), Metabolic ReactionsFeatures: Chloroplast (in plants) photosynthesis, cellular respirationStructure: DNA, 2 membranesCytoskeletonFunction: Structure and support, movement, anchors, organelles (organization)Structure: Protein Fibers (3 types)Microtubles: support, movement, separates chromosomesIntermediate filaments: support, anchors organismMicrofilaments: movement of the cell, cilia, flagellumCell Wall (plant cell)Function: Protection, structure to the cellStructure: Cellulose, holes in the wall that control trafficECM: Extra cellular matrixFunction: “telephone wires” they allow communicationStructure: Collagen fibers, integrin,
